White Clay Chips

[breakbeat46]

for those of you who have white clay chips of any mold/company, how does the chip stand up to usage. do they get discolored easily etc.

I don't have too many white chips. But what I've seen is:

- Chipco -- wear the same as other Chipcos (heavy fading with heavy casino use, very little with home use), but keep their white look OK, with the colored printing fading somewhat.

- Bud Jones -- like all BJs, stay in great shape for a long time. The white composition material does not seem to discolor so you'd notice it

- Paulson -- I've seen lots of white chips, and I play poker sometime at a casino on the gulf coast that uses white $1 chips:



All their chips get rounded edges and attract grunge from the tables/hands. But the white and pink chips definitely show the grunge worse than red, green, blue, or (of course) black chips.

I see racks of white chips in the card room, and they look pretty crappy. However, they clean up very well if you take them home, so the grunge is just on the outside, not really discoloring the chips. The chip on the left has a moderate amount of table grunge,and the neat one on the right has been cleaned up.

The white $0.50 Paulson JB I got all of 3 days ago looks like it went through a war - just from being shuffled!
